clause text

Foreign organizations and international collaborations are permitted with specific restrictions. Non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities and non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are eligible. However, NIH will no longer issue awards to entities involving foreign subawards/subcontracts effective May 1, 2025. Applications involving foreign subawards/subcontracts submitted in response to this NOFO will be deemed noncompliant. This does not preclude unfunded international collaborations, foreign components, funding for foreign consultants, or procurement of unique equipment or supplies from foreign vendors.
